Walkers with dogs need to keep them on a short, non-flexible leash, so they can not wander in front of a bike. If everyone followed proper etiquette, and did not think the pathway was dedicated solely to them, there shouldn’t be any issues.
Did you mean a retractable leash that allows extension? I’ve never seen a non-flexible leash - that would mean walking the dog at the end of a “stick”!
